Joy, For a very good explanation of the Griffith's Evaluation and other Irish related genealogy information visit Jane's site at the following URL http://www.from-ireland.net/gene/griffithsval.htm Jane also does research, it is all explained on her site. I would try an pin down my lost persons before hitting the GV research trail by attempt to verify your member via the FHC or by asking via the mailing lists. I have no connection to your Durneen surname other than posting the data on my site. Lots of luck Bob Cdn.
